Switch from Knitting on Circular Needles to the Magic Loop - How to Close a Hat Top

You can switch from knitting in the round on circular needles to knitting in the Magic Loop when you are working on a project. This is helpful for decreasing the tops of hats.

You can find the pattern here: https://purlsandpixels.com/product/si... To read more about switching from circulars to the Magic Loop, see: https://purlsandpixels.com/circular-t...
